A: “They just played better than us. I don’t know what you want me to say. They made more plays than us, and that’s what it comes down to. We had our opportunities. It wasn’t nothing special that they did. We dropped balls, we turned the ball over, gave up sacks, threw errant passes. That’s it. They scored more points than us.”

Q: Can you put into words the disappointment you feel right now?

A: “We lost.”

Q: On that fumble, were you trying to extend the play and that’s why you didn’t hit the deck for it?

Q: I know you’re disappointed not just for yourself, but for your teammates. You guys talked about being a band of brothers coming in. It’s got to be real tough.(Note: In the background of this question, you can hear Denver defensive back Chris Harris nearby talking loudly about the Broncos’ gameplan to stop Newton).
